So in continuation with my previous post....seems like July just wanted to make us sick the whole month!! Dominic caught another nasty cold, which he passed to Jackson. Then a couple days later, I wountd up with the flu. Right before leaving for a weekend trip to Ohio. Then, on the day of the actual party, I lost my voice. What kind of crap is that?! lol So needless to say, I had only run twice ( 1 mile each time) before July 24th...augh. It's mentally tiring to have all this sickness and get gym time taken away from you. You try to get back on the horse, but its HARD. Luckily, I'm mentally tough...so I got back on! I'm trying to just focus on the running, and not on the dieting as much bc it's really important to me to complete the half marathon this year! :) So I ran 1 mile on Wednesday and it was actually easier than I thought. Then I ran 2 last night (Saturday night)...hoping to do 3-4 tomorrow as well. Then I can get back into actual marathon training!!
Here are the stats for the past couple crappy weeks!
Pounds lost these 2-3 weeks ~ 1.2 lbs
Total Pounds lost ~ 32.8 lbs
Pounds til pre-pregnancy weight with Dominic ~ 6.4 lbs
Pounds left til 20% goal ~ 9 lbs
Pounds left til Sept 1st goal ~ 12 lbs

Weekly Weigh in 23
This weigh in is for the past 2 weeks. If you already didn't know, I have a rough couple weeks between nasty colds and Dominic getting a stomach bug 4th of July weekend. Luckily, it didn't set my running back too far. I managed to get back out there today and do 3 miles. I need to get in all I can because half marathon training starts on Monday of next week!! :) I'm so excited and I really think the weight is just going to start falling off me once I up my weekly mileage and keep up with my weight lifting. Just need to keep my diet in check!!
Now for the stats!!
Pounds lost this week ~ 1.2 lbs
Total Pounds Lost ~ 31.6 lbs
Pounds left til my pre-pregnancy weight with Dominic ~ 7.6 lbs
Pounds left til my 20% goal ~ 10.2 lbs
**new goal**
Pounds left til my Puma 5-miler goal : 15 lbs (I want to lose 15 lbs before that race on August 20th)
Goals Completed:
I have officially lost 15% of my original starting weight!! :) Go me!! It's taken me a little longer than I would have liked...but I got there. After all, slow and steady wins the race!!

Frustration
Sorry all, but this is mainly going to be a venting post! I'm becoming VERY frustrated with weight loss and all.
1st- Just when I start to make some progress on the scale or maintain a good nutrition routine, someone (me or the kids) get sick. Now, I'm not the kind of mom to drag my kids to the gym while they are sick, and obviously I don't go if I don't feel up to par. These past 2 weeks we all (except Nathan) had nasty colds. It made me miss out on quality gym time, as well as a very important trip to NY to see relatives. So, I'm obviously upset about that. Now, Dominic has a stomach bug, which I'll most likely catch (anyone but the baby is fine with me!). So, this is going to set me back YET AGAIN! Ugh...I know there's nothing to do to prevent this stuff, but it just irks me to no end to get a good rhythym going, and then have it taken away from me so easily.
2nd-Why the frig does my husband lose weight like it's going out of style?! He eats more than I do, and lately has done less running than I do. Yet, his number on the scale keeps heading downward! He's up to 55+ pounds lost now. Makes me want to punch the wall out or something!!
3rd- I have been stuck at the same weight since mid-April. Do you know how crazy that can make a person?! lol I just want to see that number move, or I'd even settle for being a size smaller but having the same number on the scale. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGH Makes me want to give up and just maintain my current weight. I won't do it, I'll keep going...but ah, the FRUSTRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
